Generally speaking, a ride (one-way) on subway or bus is $2.00. But NYC has recently given us "frequent riders" ways to save money.
The Metrocard is quick and easy, and it works on New York City Subways or Buses. The best deal going is the 30-day unlimited Metrocard for $76. If you take the train to and from work and you work 5 days a week, you will easily save at least $20 a month.
ONE-WEEK CARD: For tourists, try the 7-day unlimited Metrocard for $24. Go anywhere, anytime, as often as you want, all week, for $17.
ONE-DAY CARD (The "Fun Pass"): Now available in stations at the Metrocard vending machines, the $7, one-day unlimited Metrocard may be your best bet if you are coming into NYC for a day or two to audition.
